Spot on used correctly is safe.You say there were no good instructions on the product,if this was so,then you should have got advice from the company who made the product or a vet.There are also different strengths of spot on according to size of bird.Just put it down to a dread full mistake.

It's dangerous to use some medications on birds without the advice of an avian vet.


"Air sac mites can be treated, but the treatment protocol should be carefully supervised by a vet. Giving too little medication is going to be ineffective and giving too much will lead to a massive die-off of these air-sac mites that then cause respiratory blockage. Also, one has to consider that the commonly prescribed medications themselves are toxins and overdosing your pet can have serious consequences, including death."

In the last few minutes you're the third question i've read from a canary owner who thought they were qualified to treat their bird.  Take your bird to a vet, get the correct diagnosis and treatment.  Sheeeesh.  What's so hard about that?  Sorry, you don't deserve to have pets.
